  • PPTP: Creating a PPTP connection with Shimo works through the built-in VPN client of MacOS, so it works exactly like explained in our Mac PPTP Tutorial
  • L2TP: Creating a L2TP connection with Shimo works through the built-in VPN client of MacOS, so it works exactly like explained in our Mac L2TP Tutorial
  • You can import them in the Preferences>Profile section,
    by clicking on the "+" and then select "Import from: OpenVPN Config".

  • Should you use the standard HMA config files and not the modified versions mentioned above, you need to modify them by navigating to:
    Preferences>Profiles>Edit>Custom/Routes
    • Remove this lines:
      • show-net-up
      • dhcp-renew
      • dhcp-release

That's all - you're now connected :)
